The South Korean fighter, who is on a layoff since his loss against Alexander Volkanovski at UFC 273, resonated with the same emotions and is rearing to go on the prospect of a fight against ‘Blessed’. The Hawaiian fighter, who turned in another skillful performance against Arnold Allen and halted his juggernaut at UFC Kansas City, is now short on opponents. After cleaning up the division, the American fighter assumed gatekeeping duties of sorts in the division. While a move up to lightweight is long muted, he is yet to face a couple of veterans in the promotion.

In the post-event press conference at UFC Kansas City, Holloway admitted he was yet to share the Octagon with the #6 ranked flyweight.

Hence, he disclosed, “That is the only guy in my time with the older guys that I didn’t get to fight. I would love that fight. And if Korean Zombie wants it, he can get it. I would love to fight him.”

“He’s one of the OGs that I didn’t get to fight yet. We came up in the same era and we didn’t fight each other, so if that’s it, that’s it,” he added later on.
